Miss Rabbit pulled over Ruby, who was called a maid but was actually a consultant.
He wanted the latter to wake Thomas up and make the guard captain realize that he was being used.
That cunning woman just wanted to play with his feelings.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ruby opened her mouth, the female lord was stunned again.
"I know... Sir Thomas and Miss Selena have developed a crush on each other."
"Aha?!"
"Their feelings are real, because this is also the first time they have had this kind of heartbeat feeling towards the opposite sex, and their initial reactions are exactly the same, they both want to suppress this feeling.
"Because considering their respective positions and identities, they both know that they should not fall in love with each other. However, love is such a magical thing. The more you try to stop it, the faster you will fall."
Ruby said leisurely, "Those self-repressions, intentional restraint and alienation will eventually turn into the nourishment of love, making the throbbing in my heart become stronger and stronger."
Thomas smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Charlene, you really understand love. These days, I am indeed just like you said. I have also tried to avoid Selena, but the less I see her, the more I miss her."
"Me, me too." Selena stammered, then lowered her head.
"I don't understand love. No one really understands love. It is the most unreasonable thing in the world." Ruby smiled.
"Why don't I know about this at all?" Ilea asked dissatisfied.
"Because you have been preparing for the competition during that time, and we don't want to distract you."
"Is this so?" Miss Rabbit poured herself another glass of ale.
Thomas and Selena were looking at her nervously, waiting for their next fate.
The female lord also has a headache now.
She has no intention and no right to interfere with her vassal's love or even marriage, but Selena's identity is indeed not easy to handle.
Even if we don’t mention the time Selena touched the wood carving of Sevarria under her pillow in her tent to warn her, we also don’t mention the time Selena sneaked into the hotel to steal the sacred artifact.
After all, she is also a believer in the Church of Life and a close confidant of Cornelia.
Thomas's identity is also not simple. He is Ilea's guard captain.
If two people are allowed to fall in love like this, it is equivalent to allowing the Church of Life to insert an spy next to the female lord.
Besides, even if Miss Rabbit doesn't care, what will Cornelia think?
Ilea initially locked up Selina because she wanted to get more information about the Life Church from her.
But Selena was very tough-talking, and after asking for a long time, she couldn't find anything valuable. She was injured and couldn't be tortured for the time being.
In addition, the capital city is the headquarters of the Church of Life, with many believers. Miss Rabbit doesn’t want to go too far, but now she doesn’t know what to do with Selena.
In the opinion of the female lord, the best result is that Cornelia obediently pays a large ransom to redeem the person, not too much, but not too little.
You must always have six or seven thousand gold lions.
After all, it was Selena who offended her first, and twice, so there had to be some compensation.
Unfortunately, Cornelia was dishonest. After all this time, she didn't mention the ransom at all.
As a result, Miss Rabbit has to help the priestess to raise her people in vain. She has to open her mouth to eat more every day, which is all money.
This little female cat looks small, but has a lot of appetite and can do more work than she does. Ilea is depressed now, feeling like she has been saddled with a debt for no reason.
If Cornelia doesn't come to mention her, the female lord will have to think hard about how to squeeze some value out of Selina.
For example, let her work for the Arias family or take a double vacation like one of her colleagues.
But now that stupid boy Thomas fell in love with the little female cat again, which made Ilea even more unhappy. She couldn't even make a big deal.
Miss Rabbit snorted coldly when she thought of this.
Selena's face suddenly turned pale, and her body shrank back subconsciously.
Thomas knelt down on one knee, "Sir Ilea, it's my fault. I know I shouldn't have fallen in love with Miss Selina. She offended you before and deserves to be punished.
"But I still hope that you can spare Miss Selena this time. She promised me that she will never do anything harmful to you and Shuangxue again.
The female lord did not speak.
The captain of the guard became a little anxious and said, "If you really want to vent your anger, you can punish me."
Ilea was so angry, "Are you worthy of the teaching and cultivation given to you by your teacher Alfred?"
Thomas' eyes dimmed and he wanted to say something else, but Miss Rabbit waved her hand.
At this time, Ruby on the side said, "I have a solution."
"what way?"
"If you really want to be together, there are only two ways." Ruby pointed at Thomas, "Either let Lady Ilea take back your fief and knighthood, and let you go to Cornelia."
"Either you join the Saturday Church and become a Saturday believer." Ruby looked at Selina again, "That way you can be together.
"Of course, there is actually a third way, which is for you to separate completely, but now it seems that this simplest way is the most unrealistic for you."
Thomas fell into silence again after hearing this.
Miss Rabbit originally wanted to say that this was not necessary. After all, Shuanghuojiao did not prohibit believers from marrying pagans.
Saturday and his prophets were particularly tolerant in this regard.
But before Miss Rabbit opened her mouth, she saw Ruby wink at her, so she swallowed her words back.
After a while, Selina took the initiative and said, "I... let's separate. Priest Cornelia saved me and gave me a new life and goal. I can't betray her.
"And you, Lord Thomas, I know that Lord Ilea is also very kind to you. You are her knight, and you cannot betray your monarch. This is against the code of knights."
"You're right." Thomas looked pained, but he still said, "I can give up land and money for you, but I can't give up the honor of being a knight."
"It doesn't matter, this is why I fell in love with you." Selina said softly, looking at the captain of the guard longingly, "You are an upright man, Sir Thomas. Thank you for your kindness to me during this time.
take care of."
"Now that you have made a decision, you can go." The female lord said to Selina.
Although she was obviously free, Selena didn't look very happy. She suppressed the tears in her eyes and left the hotel with three steps.
And watching her disappear at the corner of the street, Thomas looked very depressed.
Only the female lord felt something was strange. After leaving the house, she asked Ruby, "Is this the end? Well, although the matter is resolved, is it really okay to forcibly break up the relationship between a couple of lovers?"
"It's not over yet," Ruby said, "Remember what I said, love is a magical thing. Those self-repressions, intentional restraint and alienation will eventually turn into the nourishment of love."
Ilea looked thoughtful when she heard this, but after a moment her expression suddenly changed and she exclaimed, "That's not right, where is my ransom?! Why did he let me go before I got the ransom?"
